The United States women play their final match before flying to New Zealand for the Women's World Cup, taking on Wales in San Jose on Sunday, July 9.
The send-off match will be their first-ever meeting with 30th-ranked Wales, who missed out on World Cup qualification in heartbreaking fashion.
While health and fitness will be the top priority for the USWNT, they will also hope to smooth out any rough edges in their tactical plans before traveling to the competition.
Head coach Vlatko Andonovski will look to get his starters back on the same page, while also handing the backups valuable minutes to keep them sharp should they be called upon during the tournament.
